Completed June 2003
The Washington Street corridor in Grand Forks was used as a case study for evaluating coordination (interconnect) strategies and evaluating traffic signal analysis tools. The study included the use of Synchro, TEAPAC, PASSER, and TRANSYT for developing corridor timing plans. Traffic simulation analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of traffic signal timing plans produced by the four signal optimization programs, as well as the effectiveness of coordination strategies. Three simulation models (CORSIM, SimTraffic, and VISSIM) were used to limit the bias between comparisons.
